Loading Images over https

    Seeing as WordPress is pushing us with 4.4 to go on https just to get wordpress itself to load images I have been testing an older 4.3 blog and have noticed that when it goes on https it can’t load the images for this plugin from amazon.
    I use the wordpress https plugin that changes all the links inside the page to https and gives my site the green lock for security. As a result when the plugin tries to load somehting off amazon the link to the image is changed to this: src=”//ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/XXXX_.jpg” and it doesn’t show up anymore. It’s missing either the http or the https from the link. Is there a way to load the images locally in a cache before displaying them? So that they get a local address?
    Is there any way to fix this or do I need to play around with https some more?
    Also just noticed, all the outbound links seem to be ok, it’s just the images that don’t load anymore.

    Thanks for your request.

    The new version ASA 2 is fully HTTPS compatible.

    You can get it from here: https://getasa2.com/

    You can load all Amazon images via https and even connect the API via ssl.
    Direct link to the HTTPS ready feature description: https://getasa2.com/features/#asa2_https

    Besides that ASA 2 has many more features. Please check the website.

    Hello Timo,
    are you saying that this free version is not compatible at all with the https?

    Any way to solve it apart from switching to the new version?

    Thank you in advance

    Hi Matteo,

    thanks for your request. In the free version there is no switch which handles all aspects of being compatible with https, like transforming all URLs (to the shop page and the image URLs) to https. This is an advanced feature that is available in ASA 2.

    Thank you for the answer Timo.

    I’d like to ask you another pretty specific question about the new version (ASA2): can I write it here? Otherwise, where?

    Cheers

    Is there a workaround to load images in ASA v1 via HTTPS?
    I’m using the plugin on a really small blog that earns around 50 euro via Amazon links per year and I cannot afford the new ASA2 plugin ??

    There is no workaround for HTTPS inside ASA1 currently. As it took some effort to make every aspect of the embedded products HTTPS compatible, this is one feature of the premium version (https://getasa2.com/).

    Maybe you can find a third party plugin which checks all outgoing links on a page to make them HTTPS compliant. I can not recommend you one.
